THE MORXTN'G OHEGONIAN, S A TTJTtTJ AT, MARCH 10, 1917. 17 LITTLE WHEAT LEFT Dealers Believe Official Fig ures Overestimated. OREGON HOLDINGS SMALL Supply Remaining Unsold In North west Will Be Required by Pa cific Coast Mills Before New Crop Comes. The wheat market eased off yesterday, with bids at the Merchants' Exchange 1 to 8 cents lower than on Thursday. Inquiries from the Bast were few. as the buyers now lcnow It Is Impossible to count on early ship ments. No business was reported from the country. The Government's estimate of unsold frtocki of wheat In the Northwest Is con sidered by the trade here as too high. Ore con Is given 2.740.000 bushels and Wash ington 4.S20.000 bushels In farmers' hands. 8om. dealers believe a total of 8.600.000 bushels In the two states would be nearer the mark. First-hand stocks In Oregon have been tabulated at 1.000.000 bushels. The quantity remaining In farmers and dealers' hands can easily be consumed on the Coast, as the Coast millers will need 5.000.000 to 6.000.000 bushels before the new crop Is harvested. The oats and barley markets were quiet, with bids on the local board 25 to CO cents lower than the day before. The future of the oats market Is favorable, based on the Government report. Stocks In the United States are 200.000,000 bushels less than a year ago. There Is a bigger export demand for oats than for wheat, and the new crop Is farther off. Barley la practically out of farmers' hands, and with corn 'abnor mally high, an upward trend of oats values la looked for. The Liverpool grain cables said: Wheat strong, with moderate arrivals and expectations of smaller world's ship ments. Corn strong, with American Gov ernment report and light Argentine sup plies. Oats firm. Flour firm, with millers supplies light, foreign arrivals moderate, cold weather Increasing consumption. Freights are strong everywhere, available bottoms 6Carce and rates high. "Indian and Australian exports Interfered with. "Argentine weather conditions unsettled, occasional shower. Believed crop has been underestimated. General agricultural out look this season bad. "Shipments this week Wheat, 1.532.000 bushels; com, 3SB.000 bushels: oata, none." Exports from North America this week were 5.610.000 bushels of wheat and 1.284. 000 bushels of corn.

According to Eastern apple exporters, the ruling recently made by the British gov ernment shutting out all Import in the way of food supplies that do not come under the necessaries of life and which placed on embargo on apples, will not affect the ex ports to any extent, principally because the big operators have discontinued this foreign . demand on account of lack of steamship pace. The ruling went Into effect February 17, but the British government made a proviso to the effect that any apples sold for de livery In England prior to that time would be allowed to come in provided exporters could furnish affidavits and other satisfac tory evidence to effect that the sale was consummated before that date. Commenting on the subject the New York Packer says: "Steamship companies this week were not accepting any apples for delivery In England unless the shipper signed a guarantee that he would pay the freight back to America if the British government refused to allow the fruit to be unloaded. So it looks as though the exporting of apples for this sea son at least Is at an end. "There was some speculation In butter and egg trade this week as to whether those commodities would be Included In the em bargo. Some of the big operators do not think that they will because they come un der the head of necessary food and eggs at Summer prices are cheaper than meat. Of course, there have been no butter and eggs exported for several weeks, but Just what the British government will no on these commodities when stock becomes more plentiful is problematical." WOOL PRICE OF 30 13 raEDICTED afarket for Scoured Product Expected to Reach That Figure. Wool trading at Boston, according to mall advices from that city, baa been lighter, wing to the small amount of unsold wool available. Values continue to show an up ward trend and predictions of scoured prices reaching as high as $2.50 provided the war lasts long enough, are made, says a corre pondent of the New York Commercial. The Western markets, likewise, are very strong. A feature of the market here Is the readjustment of stocks among differ ent bouses. One house which carries a lot of wool of a specific grade, but not enough to invite a transaction, finds others with small amounts which are of little use by themselves. Both are accommodated. by a deal between therrieelvee. Most of the buslnesa In greasy wools has been In South America and Cape sorta In the former, one house reports the sale of some 450.000 pounds, mainly off grades. at private terms. uiner translers have been made on the basis of 51 to 53 cents for Buenos Aires wools and $1.05 to $1.25 clean for Montevideo sorts. A dealer reports offers from South America for some Monte video fours and fives at 55 cents, or 57 cents laid down here, the wool yielding 74 per cent- The price Is considered too high, how ever, especially with Buenos Aires cross breds available at the quotations mentioned. HEM AND FOB POTATOES IS SMALL Steamer Vegetables Include Asparagus and Telephone Peas. The potato market continues Inactive.' A few buyers are quoting $2.75 to $3 In the country, but there Is practically no demand for shipping, nor are farmers offering to ell. On the street Jobbing quotations range from 13.25 to $3.50, with but little move ment. The steamer last night brought a genera assortment of Southern vegetables. Includ ing asparagus and the first shipment of tele phone peas. The latter will sell at 17 cents a pound. Walla Walla spinach la more plentiful and Is quoted at $L50 a box. A car of Florida grapefruit, which may be the last of the season, was unloaded and put on sale at 6 38.50. I'.QGS STEADY, WITH GOOD DEMAND Country Cube Butter Drags Poultry and Meats Firm. The egg market was steady, with 24 cents the general quotation, case count. Storage operations axe broadening and take care of the surplua The San Francisco market was firm and higher at 29 cent. Inquiries for Oregon eggs were received from Los Ange les. Only about 10 days ago dealers In that city were offering to sell eggs here. Butter dragged with but tittle demand on the street for country cubes. There were no changes of Importance In the poultry or dressed meat markets. Both lines were reported Arm. Linseed Oil Advances.

RAW MATERIAL MOVEMENT FREER Domestic Trade Continues Ileavler Than Usual at This Period. NEW YORK, March 9. Tomorrow Dun's Review will say: A certain hesitation in business, with shrinkage In Its volume la natural at tills season and there Is now all the more rea son for it because of present disturbing elements. Yet the volume of transac tions Is greater than usual at this period and the position of commerce and Industry remains remarkably strong, notwithstanding the foreign complications, transportation de. lays and doubts about future supplies and prices. Recent storms and cold hindered efforts to relieve the freight congestion, and over seas shipments continue difficult and un certain, but domestic movements of raw materials and products are freer and there Is somewhat less restraint on manufactur ing actlvltlea Outputs In many directions, however, have appreciably diminished, and Inability to make adequate progress in re ducing accumulated contracts still pre vents the acceptance of considerable new business.

MILL TO SPEND 325,000 (10,000 TO BE ISED TO REBUILD FLAXIXG MILL M3AB BAKER. Loading; Shed to Overcome Car Shortage and to Reduce Handling: Necessary Is Planned by Company. BAKER, Or., March 9. (Special.) Improvements costing; $25,000 are planned by the Stoddard Lumber Com pany to be started as soon as the weather will permit, according to an announcement by A. S. Shockley, vice president of the company, today. The replacing of the planing: mill will consume In all about $10,000, says Mr. Shockley, and the remainder will be used to construct a loading shed, a fireproof tile boiler-room, to duplicate certain mill machinery and for other improvements in the yards. The machinery for the pianino; mill has arrived and Is ready to be In stalled as soon as housing- can be built. The new machinery for the mill Is ex pected to Increase the capacity from 65.000 to 90,000 feet a day. A marked effect of the new loading shed, says Mr. Shockley, will be to minimize the inconvenience that Is now caused by a temporary shortage of cars. Under the new system lumber can be loaded upon trucks, wheeled Into this shed and then wheeled out again as soon as It Is needed. All this can be done with much less handling: than would be necessary under the present system, and there will be less depre ciation from weathering. , The tile shed will greatly decrease danger from fire, which last Fall de stroyed, the planing- mill. PROFITS ARE TAKEN Selling at Advance Unsettles Wheat Market. CLOSE AT CHICAGO HEAVY - " - ' " Halting or Export Demand More Than Offsets Bullish Erfects of Government Estimate of Re duced Farm Wheat Reserves. CHICAGO. March a. Halting of export demand today acted as more than an off set for the bullish effects of diminished farm reserves. The market closed heavy Sc to 2 HO net lower, with May at $1.87 V4 to $1.87 and July at $L5SV4 to $1. SOS Corn gained He to He Oats finished un changed to La down, and pro vial one Irreg ular, ranging from l2o decline to a rise of o cents. Although some leading traders contend ed that the Government report on farm re serves had put the wheat market on a purely domestlo basis, the bullish Influ ence of the report did not last beyond the first half of the day. A general rush to buy took place at the outset, but the consequent advance In prices enoountered free sales on the part of holders who were In a position to resllze profits. During the late trading, tonga In wheat were further discouraged owing to advlcee that the Liverpool Steamship Owners' As sociation declared the food control meas ures so far taken by the British govern ment had failed, and that only the most radical curtailment of Imports and of ton nage used for military purposes could pre vent a serious shortage or rooasturra. Corn advanced to new high levels, but reacted to some extent When wheat turned weak. Provisions averaged lower in consequenee of announcements that the British govern ment had taken control of all the lard and bacon In the United Kingdom and would hereafter fix prices. The market here gave no evidence that any shipping business was being done. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

BONDING PROPERTY FOR. PAVING. Several Improvement Project Betas; Discussed, Including; S trtp of ' Pacific BlgAwsy. VANCOUVER, "Wash., March 9. (Special.) The desire and need of hard-surface roads in Clarke County Is being felt strongly by several com munities, and plans are being made now to have a large amount of roads hard-surfaced this year. There Is a movement started to have the road to Camas hard-surfaced, the property owners to bond their property to bear part of the cost and the county paying part of the cost." . The people along- the road to Battle Ground are also working- on a similar plan, on a basis of about $5 an acre. This would raise enough, with what the county has to expend, to hard-surface the road from Salmon Creek to Battle Ground, on the Pacific Highway. It is possible that the road to Camas and Washouga.1 will be hard-surfaced and extended above Washougal to con nect with State Aid Road No. 8, over the mountain from Skamania County. A number of good roads meetings are being held and petitions are being- cir culated. There Is rivalry between the people living on the River road to Camas and the Fourth Plain road. Both are well- traveled roads, but the one that is bard-surfaced first will have the ad vantage. CLARKE ORCHARDS PRUNED Another Big Prune Crop Is Looked For This "Year. VANCOUVER. Wash., March 8. Spe cial.) Fruitgrowers in many parts of the county are Just completing; pruning their prune orchards. The great dam age to prune trees during; the sleet storm last year did much to convince orchardists that they should keep their trees well pruned. A number of older orchards suffered grreat loss by having; the tops broken out of the trees by the weight of Ice. Many -were killed. The prunegrowers last year had a good crop In nearly all parts of the county and have high hopes that this year will be as rood. IOWA SENATORS CRITICISED Ten Idaho Legislators, ei-Iowans, .
